Question
BoonDoc
I was just denied for TDIU, and the VA's reson was that my last employer stated that I had missed no time from work, I worked 2 (two) hours per day that was compensated with a free apartment, and during that 2 hours I did routine maintenance and made a whole $400-450 per MONTH for a family of four!
The VA reasons that since I left such a wonderful job I am able to maintain gainful employment. I quit a full year before moving, and my wife took over for me. I have my IRS tax papers to prove it...if that would be considered proof.
They didn't address my failing Vocational Rehab because of my missing classes and being terminated from the program.
They didn't address the side effects that I stated from the medications, or secondary anxiety/ depression...the only problem is that I have anxiety all over my VA medical records, as well as Bipolar Disorder, but not reconized by the VA as secondary I'm working on trying to make that happen.
I guess they think I like being piss poor, and the black sheep of da family?!
I'd rather be working cause this is just to dang hard!
